Default 420 In Dyno.

We did made 420BHP/370torq@6500 rpm with a stock 5,3 engine with 40 000 miles. Only mods are: Ls1 intake, roller rockers and a 85mm TB from Summit...
It made 362 with a Ls2 cam @5500rpm. This is a used engine with original gaskets and everything..

That Thumpr cam's shocked us with that power.
We going to use them more, we must only solve the idle problem with the overlap.

i'm actually surprised that nobody has hit the 400 mark with a 5.3 N/A yet. i figure it's based on cost. a nice set of heads for a 5.3 could purchase a 6.0 long block.

i would take CNC truck heads over a CNC ls6 on a 5.3. compression=free power
